I commend Maya Heikkinen for her very thoughtful and well-researched article regarding the environmental effects of Covid-19 in the latest “Viking Voice.” I have been wondering about a number of the points she covered (such as the rise in solid waste, especially plastics) and had not yet to heard reporting on them. Thank you Maya — we need voices like yours speaking out. And congratulations on your graduation!
